Key Definitions
- An Unreached People Group (from joshuaproject.net) is a people group among which there is no indigenous community of believing Christians with adequate numbers and resources to evangelize this people group without outside assistance.
- A Church Planting Movement is a rapid and multiplicative increase of indigenous churches planting churches within a given people group or population segment.
- Union with Christ describes our oneness with Jesus, and how we receive all the promises of life in Christ. In John 15, this is the vine and the branches.
